Security Challenges in the Telecom Industry
Telecom networks form the digital backbone of our connected world, and that makes them a prime target.
With the rollout of 5G, virtualization, and edge computing, operators face a perfect storm of complexity and
exposure.
Regulations like NIS2, CRA, and ISO 27001 now require continuous intrusion detection, vulnerability
management, and rapid incident response. Without runtime protection, service disruption, compliance fines,
and data breaches are just one exploit away.
The Most Common Cyber Threats
How AI EdgeLabs Secures Telecom
Unified Runtime Security Platform
Brings NDR, EDR, and IDS/IPS together in a single AI-native agent that operates inline across
edge and core networks.
AI-Generated Response Playbooks
Automates incident response for 5G and NFV environments, reducing MTTR, eliminating manual
intervention, and keeping services running.
Edge-to-Cloud Scalability
Containerized, multi-tenant architecture scales from uCPE devices to carrier-grade cores without
heavy agents or manual tuning.
Compliance & Reporting Automation
Delivers audit-ready evidence aligned with NIS2, CRA, ISO 27001 and regional mandates like NESA, accelerating regulatory readiness and procurement approval.
Real-Time Threat Detection & Autonomous Response
Kernel-level AI inspects every packet and system call at line rate (50 Gbps+) with < 2 % CPU overhead, blocking threats in milliseconds.
Security Assistant for SOC Teams
Translates complex alerts into clear, actionable insights, cutting alert fatigue and boosting analyst efficiency.
Advanced DDoS and Zero-Day Mitigation
Inline AI detection neutralizes volumetric and behavioral attacks before they impact service availability or SLA targets.
Why It Matters for Telecom Operators
Compliance-Driven Procurement
Meet NIS2, CRA, and regional mandates for runtime detection and vulnerability management.
Lower Operational Risk & Cost
Prevent outages, ransomware, and data theft while reducing TCO by 3–5× vs legacy EDR/XDR stacks.
Continuous Operations
Protect 5G, MEC, and IoT services with autonomous defense that runs inline – no cloud dependency, no downtime.
